Saturday’s POWERBALL® jackpot is now $596 million

Dover, DE — Since the $1.08 billion POWERBALL® jackpot winner on July 19, 2023, no player has matched all five numbers and the POWER BALL®, raising the estimated annuity of this Saturday’s drawing to $596 million.

So far, there have been four POWERBALL® jackpot winners in 2023:

  • February 26, $755 million (Washington)
  • March 4, $163 million (Virginia)
  • April 19, $253 million (Ohio)
  • July 19, 1.08 billion (California)

While no player has won the jackpot since July, there have been seven $2 million and twenty-four $1 million dollar winners in the current jackpot run.

“While it’s always exciting to see jackpots get this high, it’s also very important to remind Delaware Lottery players to always play responsibly,” said Helene Keeley, Director of the Delaware Lottery.

POWERBALL® drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights at 10:59PM EST. Tickets can be purchased until 9:45PM EST on the day of the drawing.
